CRITERIA MODEL ASSESSMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT FIRE HAZARD LEVEL IN HYDROGEN POWER INDUSTRY

The work is aimed at the solving the problem of fire safety by quantitative risk assessment during the operation of process equipment where hydrogen-containing gas is used, transported or stored. Such process areas mainly include hydrogen storage tanks, electrolysis plants, rooms containing hydrogen receivers, hydrogen compressor stations, etc. The list of hydrogen gas fire hazard indicators is presented in the work, the ways of definition of these indicators (parameters of criterial model) for a technological site are described, on the basis of the developed program for electronic computing machine the method of reference of technological object to a certain risk category is offered. This model is applicable only for closed technological sites where apparatuses and (or) pipelines in which hydrogen-containing gas with purity not less than 99,9 % is circulating are placed.
